Data wrangling

Data analysis

Load the Boston data from the MASS package. Explore the structure and the dimensions of the data and describe the dataset briefly, assuming the reader has no previous knowledge of it. Details about the Boston dataset can be seen for example here. (0-1 points)

The Boston data frame has 506 rows and 14 columns.

This dataset contains information collected by the U.S Census Service concerning housing in the area of Boston Mass.

Details of the dataset: crim : per capita crime rate by town.

zn : proportion of residential land zoned for lots over 25,000 sq.ft.

indus : proportion of non-retail business acres per town.

chas :Charles River dummy variable (= 1 if tract bounds river; 0 otherwise).

nox : nitrogen oxides concentration (parts per 10 million).

rm : average number of rooms per dwelling.

age :proportion of owner-occupied units built prior to 1940.

dis :weighted mean of distances to five Boston employment centres.

rad :index of accessibility to radial highways.

tax :full-value property-tax rate per $10,000.

ptratio :pupil-teacher ratio by town.

black : 1000(Bk - 0.63)^21000(Bk−0.63) 2 where Bk is the proportion of blacks by town.

lstat : lower status of the population (percent).

medv : median value of owner-occupied homes in $1000s.

3. Show a graphical overview of the data and show summaries of the variables in the data. Describe and interpret the outputs, commenting on the distributions of the variables and the relationships between them. (0-2 points)

4. Standardize the dataset and print out summaries of the scaled data. How did the variables change? Create a categorical variable of the crime rate in the Boston dataset (from the scaled crime rate). Use the quantiles as the break points in the categorical variable. Drop the old crime rate variable from the dataset. Divide the dataset to train and test sets, so that 80% of the data belongs to the train set. (0-2 points)

# center and standardize variables
boston_scaled <- scale(Boston) 

# summaries of the scaled variables

6. Save the crime categories from the test set and then remove the categorical crime variable from the test dataset. Then predict the classes with the LDA model on the test data. Cross tabulate the results with the crime categories from the test set. Comment on the results. (0-3 points)

# save the correct classes from test data
correct_classes <- test$crime

# remove the crime variable from test data
test <- dplyr::select(test, -crime)
# predict classes with test data
lda.pred <- predict(lda.fit, newdata = test)

# cross tabulate the results
table(correct = correct_classes , predicted = lda.pred$class)

7. Reload the Boston dataset and standardize the dataset (we did not do this in the Exercise Set, but you should scale the variables to get comparable distances). Calculate the distances between the observations. Run k-means algorithm on the dataset. Investigate what is the optimal number of clusters and run the algorithm again. Visualize the clusters (for example with the pairs() or ggpairs() functions, where the clusters are separated with colors) and interpret the results. (0-4 points)

# access the MASS package
library(MASS)

# load the data
data(Boston)

# center and standardize variables
boston_scaled <- scale(Boston) 

# euclidean distance matrix
dist_eu <- dist(Boston)

# look at the summary of the distances
summary(dist_eu)
##    Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
##   1.119  85.624 170.539 226.315 371.950 626.047
# manhattan distance matrix
dist_man <- dist(Boston, method= "manhattan")

# look at the summary of the distances
summary(dist_man)
##     Min.  1st Qu.   Median     Mean  3rd Qu.     Max. 
##    2.016  149.145  279.505  342.899  509.707 1198.265
set.seed(123)

# determine the number of clusters
k_max <- 10

# calculate the total within sum of squares
twcss <- sapply(1:k_max, function(k){kmeans(Boston, k)$tot.withinss})

# visualize the results
qplot(x = 1:k_max, y = twcss, geom = 'line')

# k-means clustering
km <- kmeans(Boston, centers = 4)

# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston, col = km$cluster)

Optimal number of clusters is when the total WCSS drops radically so according to the plot about 2 clusters.

set.seed(123)

# k-means clustering
km <- kmeans(Boston, centers = 2)
# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston, col = km$cluster)

# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston[1:7], col = km$cluster)

# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston[8:14], col = km$cluster)

Bonus: Perform k-means on the original Boston data with some reasonable number of clusters (> 2). Remember to standardize the dataset. Then perform LDA using the clusters as target classes. Include all the variables in the Boston data in the LDA model. Visualize the results with a biplot (include arrows representing the relationships of the original variables to the LDA solution). Interpret the results. Which variables are the most influential linear separators for the clusters? (0-2 points to compensate any loss of points from the above exercises)

# load the data
data(Boston)

# center and standardize variables
boston_scaled_2 <- scale(Boston) 

# change the object to data frame
boston_scaled_2 <- as.data.frame(boston_scaled_2)

# k-means clustering
km <- kmeans(boston_scaled_2, centers = 4)

boston_scaled_2 <- boston_scaled_2 %>% 
mutate(clusters = c(km$cluster))

# linear discriminant analysis
lda.km <- lda(clusters ~ ., data = boston_scaled_2)
# the function for lda biplot arrows
lda.arrows <- function(x, myscale = 1, arrow_heads = 0.1, color = "red", tex = 0.75, choices = c(1,2)){
  heads <- coef(x)
  arrows(x0 = 0, y0 = 0, 
         x1 = myscale * heads[,choices[1]], 
         y1 = myscale * heads[,choices[2]], col=color, length = arrow_heads)
  text(myscale * heads[,choices], labels = row.names(heads), 
       cex = tex, col=color, pos=3)
}

# target classes as numeric

classes <- as.numeric(boston_scaled_2$clusters)

# plot the lda results
plot(lda.km, dimen = 2, col = classes, pch = classes)
lda.arrows(lda.km, myscale = 1)

Super-Bonus: Run the code below for the (scaled) train data that you used to fit the LDA. The code creates a matrix product, which is a projection of the data points.

model_predictors <- dplyr::select(train, -crime)
# check the dimensions
dim(model_predictors)
## [1] 404  13
dim(lda.fit$scaling)
## [1] 13  3
# matrix multiplication
matrix_product <- as.matrix(model_predictors) %*% lda.fit$scaling
matrix_product <- as.data.frame(matrix_product)

Next, install and access the plotly package. Create a 3D plot (cool!) of the columns of the matrix product using the code below.

#install.packages("plotly")
library(plotly)
## 
## Attaching package: 'plotly'
## The following object is masked from 'package:ggplot2':
## 
##     last_plot
## The following object is masked from 'package:MASS':
## 
##     select
## The following object is masked from 'package:stats':
## 
##     filter
## The following object is masked from 'package:graphics':
## 
##     layout
plot_ly(x = matrix_product$LD1, y = matrix_product$LD2, z = matrix_product$LD3, type= 'scatter3d', mode='markers')

Adjust the code: add argument color as a argument in the plot_ly() function. Set the color to be the crime classes of the train set. Draw another 3D plot where the color is defined by the clusters of the k-means. How do the plots differ? Are there any similarities? (0-3 points to compensate any loss of points from the above exercises)

plot_ly(x = matrix_product$LD1, y = matrix_product$LD2, z = matrix_product$LD3, type= 'scatter3d', mode='markers', color = train$crime)

I did not know how to draw the plot with the color is defined by the clusters of the k-means.
